Nairobi Tented Camp re-opened in June 2025 in a new location nestled within the lush woodlands of Karen, ideally located for visits to Nairobi National Park, the Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Centre and other attractions.
The camp offers a tranquil retreat where nature’s rhythms set the pace of life. Towering indigenous trees form a natural canopy, filtering soft sunlight onto the forest floor creating an atmosphere of pure serenity. The air is crisp with the scent of damp earth, carrying the calls of birds and the occasional rustle of small wildlife such as bush babies, tree hyraxes and monkeys moving through the trees.
Carefully positioned between the trees, the canvas tents blend seamlessly with the environment, offering a sense of seclusion and ‘safari’ without sacrificing comfort and with their deep knowledge, warm hospitality, and commitment to excellence, our team aims to ensure that every guest enjoys a memorable and seamless stay at Nairobi Tented Camp .
This hidden gem in Nairobi's Karen area, provides a perfect balance of adventure and tranquillity, a place where guests can immerse themselves in nature while remaining just a short distance from Nairobi’s bustling city centre. The new location offers enhanced opportunities for guests to explore a variety of activities, including visits to the Giraffe Centre, Daphne Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage, local shopping experiences, and cultural sites.

Rachel Chambers
Hi, I’m Rae, based on the West Coast of Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island. I’m a passionate traveler who has explored nearly 30 countries, but it was a solo journey to Africa that truly transformed my perspective. From the moment I arrived in Botswana, I felt an undeniable connection to the continent and was inspired to spend more time experiencing its extraordinary wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultures. My solo travels have since taken me through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda, Namibia, and Kenya, where I experienced Gamewatchers Safaris and Porini Camps firsthand. It was during these immersive and unforgettable journeys that my passion for Africa evolved into a clear vision: to join the Gamewatchers team and help others discover the magic of safari. I’d love to connect and plan your wildest dreams!.
